There's a very good chance the 77 assembly will work. I know for sure that the pedal support from 68-72 will work.

I don't think it'll be a direct bolt in. When I changed my '68 from manual 3-on-the-tree and drum brakes to c6 and power front disks, I took a pedal assembly (among other things) from a '75 but had to can it. It would bolt to the firewall, but the holes where it attached to the bottom of the dash were way different. I wound up taking the pb/auto pedal off that bracket and moving it over to my original bracket.

John I still have the 66 pedal, in my truck pushing the pdb. I had to drill some new holes in the pedal arm to make it work.

When I recently converted my 71 to a c-6 I removed the clutch pedal and left the brake. I had a set of pedals off an automatic side by side with the manuals and the only difference I could see was the shouldered bolt on the auot set. I used this bolt.

71Swiss,

Does your truck have power brakes? I think it may be the combo of pdb and at that has the different pedal. It's lower to the floor and it's wider than the pedals I took out of my truck.
